Tim (AWS) said they reviewed my solar system and confirmed the production shortfall, and they would…read morecompensate for the shortfall even though it is beyond the warranty. They suggest regular cleaning will help keep performance on track. I am still skeptical, but I will do this and keep track of the system production monthly to see whether or not it's going to meet the guaranteed minimum production. I truly hope my solar system would performed as they claimed; I would be happy just to get the guaranteed minimum production. I updated my rating back to 5 Stars based on their cooperation in addressing the issues reasonably fair.

I'm giving this project 5 star review because I think it is the best company to go with for quality…read moreand a competitive cost. If you go with this company, 100% ask for Mason to be your sales rep. Avoid Eddie at all costs as he won't respond to you after you sign your agreement...Because of this, Management actually switched my contact person to Mason, and I am forever grateful for that. Mason is attentive and he was the best with responding to questions and concerns. And when I had concerns about delays in my project, I would email him and it would be fixed right away. The solar industry is one where many people have a lot of questions, uncertainty in effectiveness, and aren't sure if it's right for them. And people in general don't trust solar companies and sales people. It takes time to complete a solar project from contract to actually generating electricity for the home. For me, I decided to go with solar because the 30% tax credit was ending (and now that I actually see results, it's worth it even without the tax credit). However, since I was in a tight window to get everything completed before December 31st, I was very nervous as to if the project would be done on time. if it wasn't for my persistence, and for Mason's help, I don't think it would have been done Before December 31st and I would have been very upset and lost out on the tax credit. So again, GO WITH MASON at Solar Optimum, you won't regret it. If I get another home, I will 100% use this company again, and would 100% ONLY work with Mason. I also added a picture to show how much solar has been generating for me in just over a week in the middle of December (the worst for sunlight). It's right at optimal generation for this time of year and look forward to no more electric bills.

signed a contract with Solar Optimum on Aug 12th, 2026. Per phone call with Eddie Rodriguez, it was…read moremade clear that I wanted to have it installed by end of year in order to qualify for the tax credit before it expired. A lot of time passed by without hearing back. Then I was told the solar panels that I had agreed to are no longer available. They replaced them with cheaper options. Later on, they said the replacements were no longer available and switched them again to a cheaper option. I received an email on 10/28/25 saying the solar panels are ready for installation. Then I didn't receive an update until 12/10/25 asking for information that I had already confirmed via phone call, the clearance from solar panels as well as the panels being permitted. Then I received an email on 12/23/25 asking for this confirmation again. I sent a follow up, and did not hear back from Eddie until 12/27/25. He gave me a call and told me that Solar Optimum is unable to complete the installation by the end of the year, making me ineligible for the tax credit. He suggested claiming the system was installed/invoiced in my taxes, which is tax fraud as the tax credit makes it explicitly clear that it needs to be installed and powered by 12/31/25. On Dec 30th, he said he would update me within 2 weeks. 2 weeks elapsed and no update was given. At the end of my experience with Solar Optimum, I was took a loan that was no longer needed which ran my credit which has negative implications for my credit score. I also missed out on thousands in tax credit as well as future long term savings. There was misrepresentation regarding what the company had to offer and so far the company has not offered any option to rectify the situation. Will never do business with this company and strongly advise against using their services. The only option remaining is if they are able to discount the panels by the amount of tax credit I have missed out on, which will be my desired resolution requested.

Our first solar system was installed through Project Solar, which outsourced the installation, and…read moreunfortunately it was a nightmare from start to finish. Because of that experience, we were very cautious when we decided to add more panels and reached out to several different companies. From the very beginning, HPM Solar stood out. They were easy to work with, communicated clearly, and consistently kept me informed about every step of the process. There were no surprises and no guessing about what was happening next. We were also extremely fortunate that an earlier installation slot opened up, allowing HPM to fit us in just in time to take advantage of the expiring tax credit -- something we truly appreciated. The installation crew was excellent: professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. They did great work and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left, which really showed their attention to detail and pride in their work. Overall, the entire solar process with HPM Solar was very smooth and stress-free, a complete contrast to our previous experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar.

Hunter Gregory was my first point of contact who explained me the process in detail and provided the estimates for couple of options, mainly lease vs outright purchase, 1 battery vs 2 batteries. I got a chance to interact with the Engineering team and refine the design. The team was very responsive to my questions and concerns and addressed them in timely manner. LA Solar Group took care of the HOA application and SCE permits. Overall, the installation of panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries went very smoothly. Since installation, the system has been generating power reliably. I am happy with the overall installation and the system is working quite well.

I had gotten many quotes for a solar system in the past and have know of OC Solar when they first…read moreintroduced me the solar roof. While the solar roof was way out of our budget, the solar panel and powerwall system that they've configured for me was well beyond what I expected and was well within reasonable cost. Sun Run was out of the question, and even Tesla themselves weren't able to meet the final project demands when they first designed my system. OC Solar was the only who actually met my needs and were on top of the whole project timeline. Look no further than these guys. They did a wonderful job and would go to them in the future for my other solar needs. Ask for Brooklynn and she'll take care of you, without a doubt.

Update for my review with OC - Savannah from customer service reached out regarding my experience…read moreand expressed regret over how things went and changes were actively happening at the company. She offered a free panel cleaning, which she set up internally and had their team come out this past Friday without issue. Since the cleaning the panels have been much better performing especially after these past few weeks of misting and rain, about 25% higher output. I didn't think much of it but I get now it's worth doing to get the most out of the panels. Overall a very good response and experience with OC specifically for this issue. I feel that they do want to stand out from the crowd and responding proactively to feedback gives me more confidence they'll take care of issues as they hear about them.

Their pricing was competitive, and their substantial warranty sealed the deal. Highly recommend them if you're considering solar!

That's going to save me money for years to come. The installation crew was efficient and respectful of my property, and the whole process was much smoother than I expected. OC Solar made going solar easy and stress-free. If you're considering solar, I highly recommend OC Solar. They deliver quality work, excellent customer service, and real value. Five stars all the way!

This has been an unnecessarily difficult process. Communication has been non-existent. I have…read morebeen handed off to various people every time I called trying to get information. They do a lot via text, which I liked, but it turned out not at all useful. I would text for updates, and hear nothing back. I would call to find out my contact was out of the office, on vacation, or any number of excuses. This went on for many weeks. I did not know the date for installation until a delivery of equipment showed up at my house unannounced. It was a good thing I happened to be home that day! I thought the installation itself had gone well. They installed the system in two days and everything looked great. Then, I had to wait for the meter collar to be installed. I was told it was going to be performed by their technician. Turns out it has to be done by SCE and that had not been scheduled. After I called again, SCE was finally notified. SCE arrived several days later to discover the cables were too short to install the meter. Now I have wait again for OC solar to come out again and fix this issue and wait again for SCE to finally install the meter so that I can use my new system. I hope the system works.

Their quote, plus their high reviews made them the logical choice, and we have no regrets. From the person who did the site inspection, Jose, to the installers, everyone seemed very friendly, respectful of our property/wishes, and it was clear they were experienced and knew what they were doing. Being up against a deadline, we really couldn't afford to fail the city inspection, and we passed easily. Thanks to the salesman Mark Howe for his direction, & to Henry Melling for a great design and implementation. We were not excited at the idea of having all that stuff on the side of our house, but honestly, the installation was so neatly done, with a few plants added over there, I'm sure we can acclimate. The battery placement in the garage was genius -- up and out of our way! Everything is functioning as it should, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Solar & Electric. THANKS to them for a job well done, and ON TIME!! We couldn't be happier.
